Here are two clips from Shoresy season 5 that sell it way better than Hulu's new trailer
Shoresy is so much funnier and more heartfelt than dour monologues about hockey philosophy—so why not show it off?
Look, we’re just going to come out and say it: Hulu’s just-released trailer for the fifth season of Jared Keeso’s extremely good hockey comedy Shoresy isn’t great. It’s short, for one thing, consisting of just a 30-second monologue from Keeso’s title character. And, worse, it’s neither funny nor heartfelt—two of the things that make Keeso’s Letterkenny spin-off so special—instead simply focusing on Shoresy’s sadness about the plight of North American hockey. (Is it possible someone looked at the massive success of Heated Rivalry, also originally released on Canadian streamer Crave, and simply came to the conclusion that it was the hockey that people were excited about?)
Luckily, there are a lot of clips of Shoresy‘s fifth season floating around online right now (on account of the season debuting in Canada back over the holidays), and so it’s still possible to construct a pretty good sales pitch for the new run of shows—which follows its title character as he transitions from hockey player to hockey coach while the Sudsbury Blueberry Bulldogs face a brand new set of challenges on the ice—from officially released materials.
